Mini-Tender Offer

A mini–tender offer is an offer to acquire a company’s shares directly from current investors in an amount less than 5% of issued stock.

Investors who surrender their shares in a mini-tender offer without fully investigating the offer may be shocked to learn that they cannot change their minds and withdraw. In the meantime, they’ve lost control over their securities and may end up selling at below-market prices.

Bidders in mini-tender offers limit the offer to five percent or less so that they do not have to comply with many of the investor protections that are in place for larger tender offers made by bidders whose total ownership after the offer, when added to their holdings before the offer, would exceed five percent.

Shareholders in mini-tender offers don’t receive documents that describe the tender offer in the same detail as documents that are required to be filed in a traditional tender offer. Bidders making mini-tender offers also do not have to file documents with the SEC or provide withdrawal rights to investors who tender their shares into the offer.
